Day light was fading when they arrived on planet Zord, and Scarlet exited the world of Nordem where she had been for almost one full day but made no desirable progress as she wished.
She and Severus found three drinking spots and she used hypnosis to ask about the god of strife using the description which Cipher provided but no one had seen him.
What she needed was another plan.
Now, on planet Zord, she was stretching her arms and her legs like everyone else was after the very long journey.
"I can’t believe you slept through the whole journey." Fey popped up in her face and grabbed her head.
Fey was slightly shorter than Scarlet, and when she grabbed her like this, Scarlet had to look down to observe her face accurately.
As if her cheeks were a rubber ball, Fey squeezed and pinched them.
"You seem to have put on so weight, you look like Illa now."
Illa had round pink fleshy cheeks, she was probably the most healthy and well fed little baby that Scarlet had seen on the Sun star. No other baby looked as adorable as baby Illa. Their mother enjoyed dressing her up and showing her off on star net.
In a way, because of this, Illa was sort of the standard and model for baby clothing on the Sun star. She had certainly popularized the onesie which was everywhere now.
Scarlet forcefully got rid of Fey’s hand and asked her, "Is this the part where I remind you not to embarrass in the eyes of these delegates?"
Besides, in which way are my cheeks round and fleshy, she asked herself.
They might have been standing at the back, away from the rest of the group which was being welcod by Zordins greeting teams but they were still part of them. With all the reporters here additionally, they needed to appear professional.
Suddenly, they were joined by Adler and he leaned down and whispered to Scarlet, "Who is that clown?"
At first glance when Scarlet followed the direction of his eyes she was sort of expecting to see an actual clown. One with a painted face, that fluffy orange wig on the head, a multicolored outfit and large shoes.
Instead, she saw a man, tall with curly red hair dressed in an RGB uniform. He was standing on the left side of the delegates, appearing to be attentive to them.
"I don’t see a clown." Scarlet responded in confusion.
Adler replied with insistence in his voice, "He has looked at you three tis in the last one minute and smiled creepily. I don’t like it, it’s suspicious."
Scarlet turned her head to Fey and accused her in return. "Maybe it’s because you were pinching my cheeks."
"When did it beco a cri to pinch cheeks?" Fey asked defensively.
A news drone cara passed by and they all smiled and waved, looking perfectly harmonious.
As soon as it disappeared, Adler glared at the red haired RGB captain and warned him with his piercing gaze. If he dared to co close to his sister in any less than inappropriate manner, they would be giving the Zordins a show.
[Find information on a red haired RGB captain.]
He sent that text to Beord quickly on his bracelet terminal and then moved his body to stand in front of Scarlet blocking off any view that the suspicious RGB captain might have of her.
Scarlet rolled her eyes and sighed.
Fey giggled, and thought, as expected.
Scarlet would not be blocked however because she wanted to look around. They were on a new planet after all and there was a lot to see and a lot to learn.
Adler sighed at her as her head moved from side to side, peeping over his shoulders. It was if she was his petulant five year old sister once more. Since he could not stop her, he settled for stepping out of her way but held her hand firmly.
After looking around for five minutes, Scarlet pouted and frowned. "This place doesn’t really much much different from our Sun star, I was hoping for sothing unexpected."
This was a like a copy and paste of the Sun star capital, including the way of dressing. All the Zordins wore similar outfits, in different colors but still of the sa design, basically uniforms.
The ones who were welcoming them wore red full body suits, those who guarded them black or blue body suits.
Most of them had space bracelets, terminals of different designs from the ones on the Sun star but serving the sa purpose.
"What were you expecting?" Adler asked her.
Scarlet looked around, her eyes moving from one end of this space port to another. She saw the blinking lights of flying cars which were setting off.
"I was hoping for sothing just different." She recalled the world of Nordem and specified, "Good different, not backward and undeveloped but beautiful and just..I don’t know how to describe it."
She had not been to any other realm apart from the underworld so she could not say with certainty that their realm was more beautiful than any other place in the universe.
This was of course specific only to parts of the underworld she had been to.
She could only compare the underworld to the worlds that she had seen. Human worlds fell short by so much of course. They could not even asure up in any way.
When she had just transmigrated over, all this high technology was fascinating, beautiful and exciting but now, it was quite mundane and unappealing.
There was nothing to see anymore that fascinated her and what she wanted was a fairy land perhaps. A world filled with nature, beauty, innocence and less death. Sowhere children could grow up in a bubble that would never be burst by anything.
Her right hand unconsciously moved to her stomach and she caressed it.
Of course Fey noticed and she smirked. She tugged on Adler’s coat and when he looked at her she said, "She is doing it again."
She was rubbing her stomach the way expecting won did and it was if she did not notice when she was doing it.
Fey doubled down on her suspicions, centing them into her heart with heaps of concrete. Scarlet had to be pregnant, nothing else made sense.
Adler saw Scarlet rubbing her stomach and he looked at her with suspicion. Could Fey’s assumption be right?
It was hard to tell because physically she showed no pregnancy symptoms and when she was pregnant with Justin, they never saw her until she popped up with an infant one day.
She did claim to have had a natural birth, inspired perhaps by their mother.
"Hey, little sis.." He called her a bit tentatively, intending to acquire about her physical state.
Before he could say more, a news drone passed by so he kept quiet, smiled and looked at the cara.
